A royal commission has found Australia needs an aerial firefighting fleet to confront bushfires and a new agency to coordinate its response to disasters | CroweDM

The key recommendation is to create a "modest" fleet based in Australia and funded by federal and state governments, while continuing to use aircraft from overseas when possible.

The commission heard emergency warning systems conveyed 492,938 messages on the fixed-line phone network and 4.2 million messages to mobile phones during the crisis, but it says a better system will be needed to fill the gaps. While it notes the good use of applications like "Fires Near Me" in NSW and "VicEmergency" in Victoria, it calls for a national app or at least the use of national standards.

The commission says governments must act to make the country more resilient to national disasters, requiring measures on energy and the environment as well as land-use planning, infrastructure, agriculture, infrastructure and emergency management."Further global warming over the next 20 to 30 years is inevitable."Globally, temperatures will continue to rise, and Australia will have more hot days and fewer cool days. Sea levels are also projected to continue to rise.

CroweDM While I tend to agree Australia and the states need more aerial firefighting resources, does the country or states really need or even want additional new gov agencies?

Bushfire royal commission releases final reportThe introduction of a national state of emergency, an all-hazard emergency warning app and more aerial firefighting resources are among the recommendations from the bushfire royal commission's final report. When will the incompetent Federal Government release the report Does that mean ScoMo will finally start to spend the bushfire relief fund nearly a year after it was announced? The royal commission report states unequivocally that climate change is making bushfires more intense and more dangerous. However, it makes no recommendation for reducing our emissions, which is what is causing climate change. How is that possible?

Federal government should have a clear role in disaster response, Bushfire Royal Commission recommendsBREAKING A royal commission sparked by last summer's devastating bushfires has recommended the federal government have the power to declare a national emergency for such disasters. From Hawaii! Tough choice for ScoMo. Hawaii or responsibility. Maybe VIC can follow FEDS lead and run an open inquiry then adopt the recommendations.

Bushfire royal commission findings to be made public today | Sky News AustraliaThe findings of the Royal Commission into the Black Summer bushfires will be made public today following dozens of hearings which have been held in bushfire affected areas since February. \n\nThe report is expected to recommend ways to improve federal and state responses. \n\nThe Morrison government will consider the recommendations in Cabinet before deciding what changes to implement. \n A parks and wildlife 'service' that thought sitting in an office, locking access gates and letting the fuel load build up for years, was good policy. No matter, I'm sure they will sheet it home to climate change. After News Corp, including SKY hammered the public with stories blaming it on arsonists it will be interesting to see some accuracy and reality. I'm sure Sky 'News' will report this AND APOLOGISE?
